This product, which apparently comes in 4' x 8' sheets, is paintaile
and rot-resistant. However, I've also read that it is a bear to cut,

It is not hard to cut with powered whirly-sharp blades. It is, however, a
bit hard on the blades, so use carbide tipped whirly-sharps

and dry-cutting produces some really *bad* silica dust that should be
avoided.

By avoided, you want to keep as much of it out of your eyes and respiratory
system as possible. Goggles and a face mask solve that problem nicely.
